Don't know if I would call them top notch. Whole album was mediocre to me. They seemed like they were trying to go for the deep goth approach here, but IMO failed. No hooks, just song after song of alpha-wave inducing run-of-the-mill stuff.

Snow White Queen just sounds good and tells a pretty cool story. Like You has real, raw emotion and lyrics that are on par with the early songs. And Lithium was the only song that adequately pulled off the whole "epic" sound that the whole album seemed to be going for.

Hmmm, this album has some good songs on it, but all too often it becomes mediocre with too much melody and not enough velocity to make evanescence a 'hard-hitting band' they are often referred to as. Overrated, but i still like it. Just not that much.
